Take A Chance Wait

im generally of the same school of thought but I think we disagree on where prospects are. I think bordy also gets a look at the NHL with eklund, and that gregor over this last stretch has proven to be better than svechnikov also dont know if eetu is a full time NHLer next year

Still have no goalie, and maybe they move some money to sign one or acquire one via trade. They might make the Playoffs but they probably don't get too far. They like the Oilers through their first 5-6 years with McDavid being in and out of the playoffs (mostly out) or like Vancouver who only made it to the Playoffs in the play-in year despite having a good roster on paper.

If SJ are going to miss even just 2/5 years they might as well tank for this and the next season. The Pacific division is pretty weak but it's only getting stronger, so they might as well prepare by getting as many assets as they can out of Meier and Karlsson. Maybe even look at moving Couture after that.

I agree but our cap situation is much better after 23/24 with labanc lindbolm kunin simek all coming off the books. Bordy's development shouldn't have to stall so we can tank again, but I dont think he will have that impact anyways. We can sign any older ufa goalie to a 1/2 year contract so we dont destroy eetu by pencilling him in before he's ready

I have Eklund at LW, & w/ hopefully Hertl, Fantilli/Bedard, Cooch, Sturm as my 4 Cs. I’d still go Svech over Gregor, I can’t take him no more. He’s fast, but can’t hit the net. He missed the empty net 3 times the other game.

thats completely fair but he is also a 1 man forecheck and one of the only good skaters the sharks have. I have a working theory that he sold his soul to the devil in order to be an every day NHL quality player but the hidden cost was that he will never score again. Definitely think eklund and maybe even bordy are on the wing next year
